Antioxidants

As a by-product of everyday function, the cells in our bodies create damaged molecules known as free radicals. Antioxidants work to prevent damage caused by the free radicals by bringing them to the surface of the cell and providing components which stabilise the free radicals where they can do no harm to cellular components.

Common antioxidants are found in vitamins A, C, and E, and also in carotenoids (A pigment which adds colour to fruits and vegetables.) To be sure you’re getting plenty of antioxidants in your diet, eat a varied range of fruits and vegetables daily.
